Rebuild an aging 115 kilovolt (kV) single-circuit electric transmission line to current safety and reliability standards.
It has become necessary to address an aging transmission line which has been in operation since 1959 between our Carolina Substation and the South Justice Branch Junction in Halifax County, North Carolina.
This approximately 17.7-mile overhead electric transmission line was originally constructed on wooden H-frame and steel lattice structures. We are rebuilding the entire 115 kV line and parts of the double-circuit 230 kV line in the existing easement using structures similar in appearance and height. All replacement structures will be constructed of brown, weathering steel; new single-circuit structures will be H-frames, and new double-circuit structures will be monopoles. No new right of way is needed.
Restoration activities will occur into 2026 after construction ends. We are planning to rebuild a neighboring 230 kV single-circuit electric transmission line between Hornertown Substation and Hathaway Substation in 2025-2026 and will update neighbors as we prepare for project construction.
The double-circuit replacement structures are brown, weathering steel monopoles.
Original Average Height: 115 feet. New Average Height: 120 feet.
The single-circuit replacement structures are brown, weathering steel H-frames.
Original Average Height: 60 feet. New Average Height: 70 feet.
Most replacements look similar and will be located close to the original structures.
